Nigeria vs Argentina
Yesterday was the soccer match between Nigeria and Argentina. Sadly, Nigeria has been eliminated in the group stages due to their loss. Argentina has made it through and qualified for the worldcup group stages. For all the Argentinian fans it was a great celebration and for the Nigerian team and fans, it was not a good game.
Nigeria has been playing very well up until now. I was excited to see them play their next game but sadly they will not be playing any more games for the worldcup. I still think that they achieved some good games previously and scored some excellent goals. Maybe next time they will manage to do better.
The score at the end of yesterday's match was 2-1. However, I believe that Nigeria could have scored another goal and made it through if a penalty had been given when one of Nigeria's players got kicked in the penalty area. Some say that it was unfair not to be given a penalty then, as well as when Argentina did a hand ball in the penalty area. Others believe that it was not a hand ball but I personally think that's what it pretty much looked like.
Nevertheless, what is done is done and hopefully Nigeria will get better by the next worldcup. As for Argentina, the game was interesting and all the players tried their best. I would like to see the next match that they play and see if they keep up to their standards of being one of the best teams. We will just have to wait and see. As the days go, it gets more and more exciting due to it being closer to the finals.
